Abstract
ABSTRACT Cardiac PET has been evolving over the past 30 years. Today, it is accepted as a valuable imaging modality for the noninvasive assessment of coronary artery disease. PET has demonstrated superior diagnostic accuracy for the detection of coronary artery disease compared with single-photon emission computed tomography, and also has a well-established prognostic value. The routine addition of absolute quantification of myocardial blood flow increases the diagnostic accuracy for three-vessel disease and provides incremental functional and prognostic information. Moreover, the characterization of the vasodilator capacity of the coronary circulation may guide proper decision-making and monitor the effects of lifestyle changes, exercise training, risk factor modification or medical therapy for improving regional and global myocardial blood flow. This type of image-guided approach to individualized patient therapy is now attainable with the routine use of cardiac PET flow reserve imaging.
